Hundreds of people gathered in a conference hall in Washington, D.C., for a meeting. All people entering the hall were strictly screened, and the inside and outside of the meeting room were completely closed.
Not only government officials were present, but also the head and spokesperson of the United States Federal Bureau of Paranormal Investigation. In addition, many members of several paranormal organizations under the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation, such as the Nature Conservation Union, the Free Giants Association, and the Church of Sages were also present.
The place was crowded with people, and everyone was talking about something. Everyone knew about the recent developments in White Harbor, and also knew that this meeting was officially held for White Harbor's Sky City project.
The spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Paranormal Investigation was a white man with black hair and a long face. After he took the stage, he saw that everyone in the audience had fallen silent.
"According to our intelligence, within three hours, White Harbor held an emergency Supreme Council meeting. Thirteen of the fifteen lifelong councillors attended and approved the Sky City plan. In seven days, White Harbor will be launched into space and enter the Earth's satellite orbit."
The scene below suddenly exploded, and an official in a suit and a watch stood up suddenly.
"What did Ironfist Anderson and Druid Marin say? Didn't we ask them to do everything they could to prevent the Sky City plan from passing the decision of the White Harbor Supreme Council?"
"What about other countries? Why didn't the British astrologers Daryl and Owen Harrison, the Chinese Lu Wu and Tai Liang, as well as the god of war Alexi and the gatekeeper Galawasharma stop it? Did they also agree to such a ridiculous and terrifying plan?" He read out the names of more than half of the members of White Harbor in one breath, and his words were extremely angry.
Another official from another department immediately said, "They have probably long forgotten that they were once ordinary people. Do they really think they are the Fifteenth King of White Harbor? Do they really regard themselves as extraordinary kings or gods who are high above?"
A woman who looked like a researcher stood up and said, "Everyone, according to the information we have, White Harbor is not only an extraordinary city, but also a super fortress. The fifteen lifelong councillors of White Harbor can have their power increased to the extreme with the blessing of this fortress, and they also have a divine weapon."
"According to some secret information, the great alchemist John Vogel has even developed a means of ultra-long-range attack. We have every reason to believe that the City in the Sky is a war fortress that is more powerful than the conceptual weapon Rod of God. It can destroy any city on the ground in satellite orbit. Except for Weigang City in China, no other city can withstand such an attack."
At this point, the woman showed an excited expression, but the panic and horror in her expression could not be concealed. "We absolutely cannot let it rise to the sky. This is a conspiracy of the extraordinary people, the conspiracy of the fifteen kings of White Harbor. It will become the starting point for enslaving everyone and make all ordinary people slaves of the extraordinary people."
Instead, an old man from the Sage Church who was sitting below stood up and said, "What's the point of saying this now? How could Anderson and Marin alone stop the Sky City project? Without the Sky City, wouldn't the world be changed by the extraordinary people? The first god has appeared, and the second and third will appear next!"
"The newly promoted god has returned from the world of gods and demons. We have long known that there is no way to stop the Sky City plan. At this time, we need to win the support of Anderson and Marin. After the Sky City plan succeeds, White Harbor's position in the world will be even more important. The status of the Fifteen Kings will rise again, and they can even control the entire world through White Harbor. This is our future goal and plan, how to take advantage of this change."
The old man turned around, glanced at the woman before, and finally looked at the group of extraordinary people, officials and ordinary researchers behind him: "Also, extraordinary people have never thought of enslaving ordinary people. We are also part of ordinary people. What we should seek is coexistence and common development. This is the era of the future."
"Everyone, a new era has arrived. It will definitely not stop because of the hesitation and delay of some people. To use a clichéd line from a movie, it is like the wheel of history rolling down, crushing all the rebels to pieces."
The quarrel below became more intense. The spokesperson above immediately tried to maintain order, but it was still ineffective. Finally, a man who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, who looked like a teenager but seemed unusually calm, walked up, and everyone quieted down.
The current head of the Federal Supernormal Investigation Bureau said: "Since the Sky City plan can no longer be stopped, it is time for us to adjust our future plans again based on the actual situation!"
"What Sage Lal said just now is very correct. What we should seek is coexistence and common development. Perhaps in the near future, it will be time to let everyone know about the existence of the extraordinary world!"
He looked at everyone and said, "Gentlemen, a new era has arrived."
At this moment, in addition to the United States, there were also fierce debates in London, England, various parts of Europe, Russia, China and other countries. Some people in various countries proposed to destroy the extraordinary city of White Harbor, but this proposal was abandoned in an instant. Some people proposed to destroy the Celestial Stone. As long as the Celestial Stone was destroyed, the extraordinary city of White Harbor would not be able to transform into a sky city, which would directly destroy the entire sky city plan.
However, this plan has been implemented before. Before Fengdu returned, all countries tried every means to sabotage the Sky City plan, but at most they only destroyed some of the ancillary plans of the fourth-generation supernatural city, such as the Sky City base, the White Harbor ecological circulation system, etc., and at most they only caused some minor troubles.
The great alchemist John Vogel had sealed the Celestial Stone at the bottom of the Tower of Babel a long time ago. Unless someone could forcibly split open the entire extraordinary city of White Harbor, no one could destroy the Celestial Stone.
Almost no matter what the outcome is, the Sky City Project cannot be stopped in the end. What's more important is that the heads of the supernatural organizations in various countries believe that even if the Sky City Project is temporarily destroyed, it will not have any effect. As long as supernatural beings exist and as long as they continue to become stronger, this day will eventually come, it's just a matter of a month earlier or a month later.
After a wave, the entire extraordinary world, which was originally on the verge of a stir and where top leaders of various countries held consecutive conferences as if a world war was about to break out again, calmed down again.
Next, various countries submitted applications to the extraordinary city of White Harbor, hoping to participate deeply in the Sky City project and the subsequent construction and management work. A large number of White Harbor municipal government members also put forward various proposals to prepare for the follow-up plans after the success of the Sky City project.
And the entire supernatural world, all the supernatural organizations and supernatural individuals, big and small, are looking forward to the City in the Sky.
For many extraordinary people who have embarked on the path to becoming strong, this symbolizes a new era. However, for the extraordinary people at the bottom, a sky city floating in the sky and never falling is extremely eye-catching.
The atmosphere inside Baigang is even more tense. The vigorous preliminary preparations have already begun. Alarms and slogans are constantly flashing on the seventh floor of Baigang's inner city and the outer city residential area. The law enforcement team and the city government are extremely busy.
"The Sky City Project will be launched in six days. All residents of White Harbor please be prepared."
"Tourists without stay permits are requested to leave White Harbor within three days. Residents of the lower three floors are also requested to prepare for migration. White Harbor will be closed on the fifth day. All residents who have not applied for stay permits are requested to leave the inner city before the fifth day and stay in the temporary residential area arranged by the outer city government."
"The Sky City Project will last for three days and end on August 26th. We will return to the South Pole and all residents can return to the inner city at that time!"
"Sky City Project..."
Scenes of projection were projected down from the sky curtain of the seven-story city of White Harbor, accompanied by logos.
The entire White Port has been closed to tourist access, and a large number of tourists are leaving White Port by train through various stations.
Residents on the upper floors of the Tower of Babel go up and down via elevators that are like those in a square. One elevator can carry tens of thousands of people at the same time. Everyone on the square can see the world outside constantly changing layer by layer.
Then we went through the huge gate of White Harbor to the outer city. Compared with the inner city which was as warm as spring and the air was as fresh as the forest, the outer city was extremely cold.
Batches of residents in the inner city of Baigang, who were still wearing shirts and short skirts in the inner city, immediately wrapped themselves in thick winter clothes when they went outside. The area of the entire outer city has now expanded more than ten times, occupying almost the entire area at the foot of the mountain along the mountain range.
"Everyone line up and receive your tickets according to your number plates..."
"Residents of the Rose District on the second floor, gather here and follow the number plates to enter the temporary residential area. Don't crowd. The Sky City Project in the White Harbor Inner City will be completed in a few days. Please be patient!"
"In the future, we will live above the sky. We will be the first inhabitants of the sky! In ancient legends, we are like living in the kingdom of God. Think about it..."
No one seemed to be in a mood to resist. It seemed that the White Harbor city government was doing a good job and was very satisfactory.
Many people were walking on the streets of the outer city. The residents of the inner city also often went out of the city and were not unfamiliar with the outer city. Ordinary staff, men and women, and extraordinary people in the inner city were all discussing the plans for the Sky City.
"Do you think the Sky City Project will be successful this time?"
"Of course, the Great Alchemist John Vogel presided over it, and the Fifteen Kings of White Harbor personally maintained it. More importantly, Fengdu, number one on the List of Gods, was in charge of the Sky City Project. Have you heard of it? Fengdu became a god in the world of gods and demons, and he is the first immortal being."
"Eternal life? No way, I saw it on the forum, it can't be true!"
Batches of residents and extraordinary people from the inner city moved out, and the ones left were the extraordinary people and city government members who maintained the operation of the Sky City, as well as many residents who applied to stay and watch the Sky City take off.
Fang Xiu and John Fogel stood helplessly on the corridor outside the top floor of the Tower of Babel. There were no walls here, and one step out would lead them into the invincible abyss.
The whole place is like a temple in heaven, suspended in the sky and appears extremely lonely.
Looking at the increasingly dense population in the outer city from above, although it seems a lot more noisy and complicated, everything is still in order, and there are no major conflicts or accidents.
Fang Xiu nodded: "Yes, the city government did a good job and didn't cause any chaos!"
John Fogel became more and more excited as the final days approached: "I have been keeping an eye on them. Now I will see who dares to cause me any trouble."
Fang Xiu: "I have notified the remaining two White Harbor King's representatives to come over. After everyone activates the imprint together, they will open the Tower of Babel and take out the artifact and the Celestial Stone."
John Fogel said with some regret: "Is Jia Yi still unable to come out? I am looking forward to seeing the sky city take off with him."
Fang Xiu said: "Jia Yi is preparing to perfect his power in the world of gods and demons and is ready to take the final step. He will not come out before that."
After saying this, Fang Xiu retreated from the corridor that was like a cliff, took a few steps and disappeared.
John Fogel looked at the entire White Harbor, the future city in the sky: "This is also the final step for me to perfect my own power."
John Fogel had also been prepared for a long time. After the Sky City project was completed, his alchemy skills and knowledge reserves regarding the Mythical Alchemy Tower would have been basically complete, and he could really try to take that step forward.
